MFW "Is 9 AM good for you?"

Everybody's broke, no one is immune to fomo, and It's expensive to be poor. Corporations are the one's aiming for the cheapest profits, they're who landed on slavery and pollution as a means to cheaper profit. This isn't a permission structure, it's just what's happening. Why have feelings toward your broke friend for getting some summer 'fits, instead of railing against the suppliers with the dangerous practices? Pshh.. outta here with that personal responsibility > corporate accountability, fuckin grifters get more protection than the grifted
Fig 1 is a modified emotional change curve applied in learning and business settings. The term "Valley of Despair" is used in both concepts, and it's cool, memorable verbiage, but it shouldn't imply relation between Dunning-Kreuger and the change curve
Image description: A modified emotional change curve from Evocon with Y-Axis being "attitude during change process" and X-Axis is time. There are 6 emotional phases described on this chart: 1. Neutral attitude, no knowledge; 2. Initial excitement, motivated; 3. Denial, indifferent, passive, apathy; 4. Resistance, frustration, doubt, anxiety (this phase falls below neutral and is described as "The Valley of Despair"); 5. Exploration, energized, small wins, creative; 6. Commitment, enthusiasm, problem solving, focus, team work.
That's the Overton Window I'm talkin' about
Yes. And her (the actresses) role in Three Body Problem is like that characters development. If you want some Keiko head cannon, bc.. while some femme baddies were written really well (like Win, probably only Win) there's a hesitation, a lack of commitment to the thought project of darkness in a loving mother, doting wife.
Who down votes this!? SLAY
Sorry about your bad day. Hope you have good sleep and feel refreshed in the morning 🖖
Me too! Drop Dead Fred made me think it was a thing! Also Phoebe Cates is so convincing
Love the one downvote. Makes it seem like someone needs their counter top of suffering, more than the lives of those who made it
Exactly. It's still team sports at the end of the day and they'll fall in line behind whatever wins. And Trump wins for them but sure, a few "adults in the room" make it more palatable

I realized how many extra steps I was going through to mask, and that the end product, behavior, was made off wildly wrong assumptions about what people or situations expected of me. And when I realized that, I wanted that fucking time and energy back. I found my own language to describe my own thoughts and feelings and just put that out there. It's weird and vulnerable at first but my doctor seemed to understand. Meds made space in my brain to learn and unlearn different things. Stimulants helped get through the turmoil of chores. Anti-anxiety made the urge to please quieter. It's my life, I want to feel good in it, as authentic as possible, as comfortable and natural. I didn't know the color of my hair, had been dying it for 30 years, that was a nice surprise. Like they said, make the best of this, you should feel good. If something is hard, figure it out so it's easier from here on forever, think if how good it will feel when the hard thing today is easy. Reduce sugar
